Sauteed scallops and bell pepper


I am a Bengali. And it goes without saying fish and seafood are two things that we can not live without. I have been somewhat late in getting to some really amazing seafood delights, but once I figured the treasure that the sea has to offer, I never really looked back.

Here is a quick recipe to a very delicious scallop dish that I stir up often times to feast myself.

What you need to prep for the dish:
1. Fresh sea scallops
2. Bell pepper - red, green and yellow, chopped into fine small cubes
3. White onion, chopped into small squares
4. Spring onions - finely chopped
5. Green chillies - one, very finely chopped
6. Salt - to taste
7. Crushed garlic and pepper

Recipe:
In a pan, add half a tablespoon of olive oil and add the chopped onions and bell pepper and saute them till the onions and bell pepper become tender. Add the scallops to the pan and saute. Keep the pan on low heat for about 5 mins or till the scallops start turning light brown. Turn the scallops so as to cook the other side thoroughly.

Add the green chillies and chopped spring onions and salt. Stir a little. Add the crushed garlic and pepper to the pan and stir well. Serve hot.
